Not myself personally, but I've met plenty of people who will assume any sort of attempt to debate with them is an attack on them or their character. I am simply addressing that there are other viewpoints, regardless of how wrong or correct they are.


Make no misunderstanding, I'm not trying to coddle to OP. I just think people are confusing ignorance with malice. Even still, I think it's a bit harsh to assume it's actively a bad thing to show compassion and ask, "Why does this person feel this way in the first place?" I just disliked seeing people insinuate OP was specifically the problem or an instigator when it could merely just be ignorance or frustration.
